This was Sam Kinison's first big break in 1984 on Rodney Dangerfield's "Young Comedians Special" on HBO. After this his first comedy album, "Louder Than Hell", took off in sales and launched Sam into stardom.

A great sanpshot from history of comedy genius being born.

The "official" version of this on the "tube" has been edited. This is the full clip.

Take you where the food is, best quote of my life, as a child of a ex-farmer.

Got red pilled. Former preacher and married. Left the church and horrible divorce. Great career but actually got married again and left Vegas on honeymoon only to be killed by drunk driver running a light. RIP Sam. God saved you from her ripping your soul out yer azzzz.

Sam is not wrong one bit only idiots live in or near deserts and not near places where food grows, then again life is not fair and if possible move to where there is food better to be where there is food and away from stupid crazy greedy idiots/skin walkers

I didn't realize until a few years ago how Sam had some very subtle humor hidden under his bombastic delivery. Here he is hammering all of the fake celebrities who did the USA for Africa thing in the '80s. I was a kid then but I recall all the news about starvation in Ethiopia, which was soon eclipsed by all the celebs at the time doing that "We are the World" song. The radio and MTV played that until the tape burned up. The truth was, after they all got what they wanted out of it, the little money that was left went to the corrupt Ethiopian government that had caused the famine and the starving people got nothing.

@Calling All Stations: there you go then. Reminds me of the scene from Blade Runner where the chief tells Deckard if your not with us your little people. Always about money and greed and the little people suffer for no reason best to not be in the position and dont be greedy. Sam is great and should have been even more popular who knows tho all is down to God. \G/
